Using the ASK command, it looks like I'm getting an extra character more than what was entered.

Hi.

Not sure what you mean.

on mouseUp
   ask "How many chars" with "XYZ"
   put the length of it
end mouseUp

I get "3". It makes no difference if you fill out the field by hand.

So when you get this invisible character, what is its charToNum?

Thanks Craig!

Just ran some isolated test. ASK command is fine.
My mistake. Other code was adding the extra character.
